I have been working at Universal American full-time (More than a year)

Pros

If you don't care about your work and can be a yes man, pay and flexibility in schedule are good.

Cons

Totally negative culture with bullying, backstabbing, no job security. Not that there's any training, but you'll quickly see processes are archaic and outdated. Don't try to change anything or mention the inefficiency - you'll be fired.

Advice to Management

They don't listen, but the company tagline is really "stay Healthy in Collaboration with Incompetence".

I had a job, but really there were no perks or opportunities for advancement. Management had to approve all transfers, so there was a lot of people blocking employees abilities to get promoted or moved to another area.

Cons

Very unorganized and underpaid for the job requirements. High overturn on the staff and managerial levels.

Opportunity to contribute to success of Medicare Advantage Health plan. Interfaced with clinical program staff and corporate finance to develop new specialized clinical programs. Great opportunity to combine healthcare analytics, clinical background, and program measurement skills.

Cons

Staff are being relocated to Houston, TX. Lots of stress among staff with pressure o improve care and reduce costs of health care.

Advice to Management

Not sure what to say here. Better communication regarding how corporate finance needed to use results from analytics. May have been due to telecommuting though.
